Intraday Refuges/Shelters (RID)========================================== RID (INTRADAY SHELTERS/REFUGES) INDICATOR ========================================== *Fair warning: this may be more words than a humble, simple indicator truly needs… but Claude insisted. // ** INTRODUCTION ** // RID (Intraday Shelters/Refuges) is a lightweight, fast, and easy-to-implement indicator designed for monitoring price action on intraday timeframes — the same ones used by institutional operators to execute their trades within each market session. The indicator generates a framework of support and resistance levels automatically calculated from the asset's Daily Opening Price (D.O.P.). These levels are established using fixed percentages that have proven their effectiveness in institutional trading for decades, constituting "textbook" references widely adopted by market professionals. RID integrates as an optional module within our Weekly Shelters (RS) indicator, allowing the operator to simultaneously control their weekly positions and, when conditions warrant, move down to intraday operations without loading additional indicators or losing sight of the higher timeframe. // ** INDICATOR FUNDAMENTALS ** // The foundation of RID rests on a proven market principle: the daily opening price acts as a "psychological anchor" that influences participant behavior throughout the entire session. Why does this method work? • UNIVERSAL REFERENCE POINT: The daily opening price is objective data, visible to all market participants simultaneously. Institutions, algorithms, and retail traders use it as a common reference to calibrate their decisions. • STANDARD PERCENTAGE LEVELS: The percentages used (0.382%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5% and extensions) are not arbitrary. They represent intraday volatility thresholds that have historically acted as inflection points across multiple asset classes. • SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY EFFECT: When a critical mass of operators place orders at the same percentage levels —whether for profit-taking, protective stops, or entries— these levels become high-probability price reaction zones. • INSTITUTIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT: Institutional trading desks frequently define their daily loss limits and profit targets in percentage terms relative to the open. RID captures this logic and makes it visible for retail operators. The ±0.382% level deserves special mention: it's a derivation of the Fibonacci golden ratio (0.382) applied to the intraday context, representing the first significant movement threshold from the opening. // ** INDICATOR OBJECTIVES ** // 1) Facilitate manual intraday trade execution by providing a framework of target prices established under a scheme of mathematical certainty, eliminating subjectivity in defining entries, exits, and stops. 2) Serve as a lightweight and modular tool, easily integrable —either as an overlay or source code— with strategies and indicators specialized in intraday trade execution, both manual and automated. 3) Provide a visual reference framework that allows the operator to quickly assess the intraday market "temperature": Is price near a key support or resistance? Has it already reached the session's typical movement target? Is it time to seek entries or protect profits? // ** INDICATOR TECHNICAL FEATURES ** // • 21 CONFIGURABLE LEVELS: 11 main levels (±0.382%, ±1.0%, ±1.5%, ±2.0%, ±2.5% and D.O.P.) plus 10 extended levels (±3.0% to ±5.0%) for high volatility sessions. Each level can be individually enabled or disabled according to operator needs. • AUTOMATIC D.O.P. DETECTION: The indicator automatically identifies the start of each daily session and captures the opening price without user intervention. • CONFIGURABLE HISTORY LIMIT: Option to limit processing to the last N days (default: 3), optimizing performance on very low timeframes (1m, 5m) where excess historical data can slow down the chart. • PROFESSIONAL VISUALIZATION: Labels with formatted price (thousands separators) and percentage, placeable with configurable offset. The D.O.P. level (0%) is highlighted with differentiated width. • VERTICAL REFERENCE LINES: From D.O.P. to each level, facilitating visualization of the percentage distance traveled. • FULL CUSTOMIZATION: Colors, widths, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), label opacity, and forward extension fully adjustable. • PRICE SCALE INTEGRATION: Levels can be displayed on the right margin of PulseWire, controllable from the indicator's Style tab. • BAR REPLAY COMPATIBILITY: Works perfectly with Bar Replay for back-testing intraday strategies. • OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE: Efficient architecture with persistent arrays and intelligent updating, suitable for timeframes down to 1 minute. // ** OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ** // INITIAL SETUP: 1) Load the indicator on a chart with 4H or lower timeframe (1H, 30m, 15m, 5m, 1m). 2) Enable "Limit history by days" and adjust "Maximum days to display" according to your needs: • For scalping (1m-5m): 1-2 days • For day trading (15m-1H): 2-3 days • For intraday swing (4H): 3-5 days OPERATIONAL USE: 3) Identify the D.O.P. (0% line): This is your central reference point for the session. 4) Observe current price position relative to levels: • Price above D.O.P. → Session with bullish bias • Price below D.O.P. → Session with bearish bias 5) Use levels as: • ENTRIES: Look for reversal signals when price reaches S1-S5 (buys) or R1-R5 (sells) • TARGETS: Set take-profits at the next resistance level (longs) or support (shorts) • STOPS: Place protective stops beyond the immediate opposite level PRACTICAL RULES: 6) The ±1.0% and ±2.0% levels are historically most respected; prioritize them. 7) If price exceeds ±2.5% from open, it might be time to take profits and close your position or consider enabling extended levels (±3.0% to ±5.0%). 8) High volatility days (news, earnings): wait for price to respect at least one level before trading in its direction. 9) Combine RID with other indicators from our ecosystem (RS, RMP, RLP/RLPS) to confirm level confluence across multiple timeframes. VISUAL OPTIMIZATION: 10) For clean charts: keep enabled only main levels (±0.382% to ±2.5%). 11) For detailed volatile asset analysis: also enable extended levels. 12) Adjust "Label margin" to prevent overlap with current price. // ** INTEGRATION WITH OTHER SHELTER VALUE INDICATORS ** // RID is part of a complete shelter-based analysis ecosystem we have developed: • RLP (Long-Term Shelters): For automatic determination of the preponderant phase of a Zigzag, which institutional investors choose as the base of a Fibo whose levels calculate order placement projection over the following months and years. • RLPS (Simplified Long-Term Shelters): Simplified version of RLP where known coordinates of the preponderant phase are captured, obtained through own analysis or automatically with the RLP indicator. • RMP (Medium-Term Shelters): Provides psychological shelter and resistance levels that institutional investors establish at the beginning of each year. They constitute the main framework used by professionals to plan operations throughout the year. • RS (Weekly Shelters): For short-term tactical analysis (4H, 1H) based on selected phases of one or two Zigzags that define Fibo tracing, over recent major and minor degree pauses, whose levels take effect during the current and following weeks. • RID (Intraday Shelters): This indicator. For intraday operations based on levels calculated from daily opening price, designed for 4H or lower timeframes, including scalping strategies. By combining RID with RLP/RLPS, RMP and RS, a multilevel scaffolding is built that allows trading with clarity on any time horizon, from minute positions to operations projected over months and years. // ** NOTES ** // • All comments regarding detected errors and improvement suggestions are welcome and deeply appreciated. Your feedback helps us refine these tools. • To our Hispanic speaking friends, we sincerely regret to inform you that we have not included the Spanish translation in the published version, due to our latent concern regarding the ambiguous rules about prohibitions on publishing indicators documented or described in languages other than English. • Sharing is motivating because there’s no better way to receive genuine feedback of real acceptance. • RECOMMENDED VALIDATION METHOD: Use PulseWire's Bar Replay to verify, session by session, how price of your favorite asset interacts with RID levels. This personal validation will give you statistical confidence before incorporating the indicator into your actual trading. Happy hunting in this magnificent jungle!

RLPS -Simplified Long-Term Support/Resistance Levels (Shelters)// Introduction // RLPS (Simplified Long-Term Shelters) is a streamlined indicator designed for traders who have already identified the preponderant long-term phase of their assets and want to efficiently track multiple assets using pre-calculated Fibonacci levels. IMPORTANT: Before using this indicator, you need to have determined the date-price coordinates of the preponderant phase (i0→i1 pivots) for your asset(s). These coordinates can be obtained using our master RLP indicator (Long-Term Shelters), which automatically helps to calculates them, or through your own research and analysis. // Theoretical Foundation // Many traditional institutional investors use the latest higher-degree market phase that stands out from others (longest duration and greatest price change on daily timeframe) to base a Fibonacci retracement on whose levels they open long-term positions. These positions can remain open to be activated in the future even years in advance. The phase is considered valid until a new, more preponderant phase develops over time. RLPS allows you to manually input these pre-identified phase coordinates and draw Fibonacci levels that serve as Long-Term Shelter Levels—marking future trading points (entries, exits, risk management) that remain valid for months and even years. // Key Features // • Supports up to 5 different assets with permanently stored phase coordinates • Dropdown selector to quickly switch between configured assets • No ZigZag calculation required—user provides pre-calculated coordinates • Timeframe-agnostic: levels remain constant across all timeframes • Works with any price source (exchange) regardless of historical data availability • Asset Information table with visual validation (✅ Match / ❌ No Match) • Long-Term Historical Prices (LTHP): add up to 5 psychological price levels per asset (historical highs/lows, annual opening prices, etc.) • Customizable Fibonacci levels, colors, styles, and label formatting • Logarithmic scale support for volatile assets like cryptocurrencies // Quick Start Guide // STEP 1: In PulseWire, select "Bitcoin / U.S. dollar" from Bitstamp Exchange (BITSTAMP:BTCUSD). STEP 2: Configure the chart to Daily (D) timeframe. STEP 3: Load the RLPS indicator. Initially no drawing appears (fields are empty by default). STEP 4: Open indicator settings and activate "Practice Asset Data Table" in the GENERAL section. STEP 5: A table appears with sample data for 5 assets. Locate "Bitcoin on Bitstamp": - i0 Date: 2020-03-13 18:00 | i0 Price: 3850.0 - i1 Date: 2021-11-10 18:00 | i1 Price: 69000.0 STEP 6: Copy this data to "ASSET 1 - IDENTIFICATION AND DATE-PRICE PIVOT COORDINATES". STEP 7: Verify "Asset 1" is selected in the dropdown and close settings. STEP 8: You should now see the yellow diagonal phase line, horizontal Fibonacci levels, and the validation table showing "✅ Match". STEP 9: Navigate the chart to verify how Fibonacci levels align with historical support/resistance zones. // Important Notes // • The sample data in the Practice Table was validated in 02/2026 and serves as reference only. • It is your responsibility to validate or update the preponderant phase of your assets over time. • Use our master RLP indicator to automatically find and calculate preponderant phases, then transfer the coordinates here for permanent tracking. • You can deactivate the Practice Table once you've copied the data you need. // Shelter Indicators Ecosystem // RLPS is part of a comprehensive ecosystem of indicators for price action analysis based on shelter levels: RLPS (Simplified Long-Term Shelters): This indicator. Simplified version of RLP that allows manual input of previously identified preponderant phase coordinates. Ideal for permanent operations with multiple assets across different timeframes. RLP (Long-Term Shelters): Automatically identifies the preponderant Zigzag phase that institutional investors use as a reference to project Fibonacci levels. These levels determine order placement over the following months and years. RMP (Mid-Term Shelters): Provides the psychological shelter and resistance levels that institutional investors establish at the beginning of each year. These form the main framework that professionals use to plan entry and exit operations throughout the year. RS (Weekly Shelters): Tactical structural analysis indicator designed to precisely track price action and manage positions during current weeks. RID (Intra-Day Shelters): For intraday operations based on levels calculated from the daily opening price. Designed for 1H timeframes or lower, including scalping strategies. By combining RLPS, RLP, RMP, RS, and RID, you obtain a multi-timeframe framework that provides certainty and clarity to apply strategies grounded in price action, across any time horizon: from scalping to long-term investments. // Final Notes // We sincerely regret to inform you that we have not included the Spanish translation previously provided in our indicators, due to our significant concern regarding the ambiguous rules on publication bans related to indicators. Sharing motivates. Happy hunting in this great jungle!

RLP V4.3 -Long Term Support/Resistance Levels (Refuges-Shelters)// Introduction // We have utilized the Zigzag library technology from ©Trendoscope Pty Ltd for Zigzag generation, allowing users the freedom to choose which of the different Zigzags calculated by Trendoscope as "Levels and Sub-Levels" is most suitable for generating ideal phases for evaluation and selection as "most preponderant phases" over long-term periods of any asset, according to its particular behavior based on its age, volatility, and price trend. // Theoretical Foundation of the Indicator // Many traditional institutional investors use the latest higher-degree market phase that stands out from others (longest duration and greatest price change on daily timeframe) to base a Fibonacci retracement on whose levels they open long-term positions. These positions can remain open to be activated in the future even years in advance. The phase is considered valid until a new, more preponderant phase develops over time, at which point the same strategy is repeated. // Indicator Objectives // 1) Automatically find the latest most preponderant long-term phase of an asset, analyzing it on daily timeframe while considering whether the long-term market trend is bullish or bearish. 2) Draw a Fibonacci Retracement over the preponderant phase (reversed if the phase is bullish). 3) The indicator automatically numbers and locates the 3 most preponderant phases, selecting Top-1 for initial Fibo drawing. 4) If the user disagrees with the indicator's automatic selection, they have the freedom to choose any of the other 2 Top phases for the Fibo drawing and its levels. 5) If the user disagrees with the amplitude or frequency of the initially drawn Zigzag phases, they can modify the Zigzag calculation algorithm parameters until one of the Top-3 matches the phase they had in mind. 6) As an experimental bonus, the indicator runs a popularity contest (CP) of "bullseye" daily price (OHLC) matches, subject to user-defined tolerance ranges, against all Fibo levels of the Top 3 selected phases, to verify which phase the market prices are validating as the most popular for placing trades. Contest results are displayed in the POP. CONTEST column of the Top-3 phases table. If the contest detects a change in the winning phase, a switch can be enabled to activate an alert that the user can utilize with PulseWire's alert creator to display an alarm, send an email, etc. 7) This indicator was designed for users to find the preponderant long-term phase of their assets and manually record the date-price coordinates of the i0-i1 anchors of the preponderant phase. The Top-1 phase coordinates are shown in the Top-3 phases table where they can be captured. The date-price coordinates of all HH and LL pivots, from all Zigzag phases, can be displayed via a switch. With the pivots, the user can select a different phase than those automatically found by the indicator, according to the conclusions of their own research. Subsequently, the user can forget about this RLP indicator for a while and move on to apply in their normal trading our RLPS indicator (Simplified Long-Term Shelters), in which they can draw and simultaneously track the long-term shelters of up to 5 different assets, simply by entering their corresponding date-price coordinates, previously located with this RLP indicator or through their own observation. // Additional Notes // 1) As of the this V4.3 publication date (01/2026), the Zigzag generation parameters were adjusted by default to find the long-term preponderant phases for the following assets: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin futures BTC1! (all generated due to the 2020-2021 pandemic). It also provides by default the confirmed preponderant phases for the following assets: Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, PayPal, NQ1!, ES1! and SP500 Cash. 2) Prices, phases, and levels shown on the graphic chart correspond to results obtained using daily Bitcoin data from the Bitstamp exchange, BTCUSD:BITSTAMP (popular here in Europe). 3) Any error corrections or improvements that can be made to the phase selection algorithms or the CP phase popularity contest algorithm will be highly appreciated (statistics and mathematics, among many other sciences, are not particularly our strong suit). 4) We sincerely regret to inform you that we have not included the Spanish translation previously provided, due to our significant concern regarding the ambiguous rules on publication bans related to indicators. 4) Sharing motivates. Happy hunting in this great jungle!
